First and foremost, to love and accept myself for once, just the way I am. That doesn't mean I will not work on improving myself. I will simply do it with a healthier, more mindful attitude; redefining what actually needs improving, and working on those things with compassion and grace.

That would definitely be being less irascible. That's is, unfortunately, a very rooted family trait. We all have what it's said to be a "very short wick" and tend to get so easy angry.

I loathe that trait on myself and I'm constantly working on it. If there's something this whole succession of quarantine time has taught me, that'd be patience, and I'm hoping that my new, more patient state of mind can finally help me tune down my temper.

Wish me luck.

Probably getting off my phone more often. Since quarantine, I’ve been on my phone to “cure boredom” and “relax” whereas all I do is stress out over beauty videos or how much money I need to fit in. All I do is waste countless hours of my time zoning out on something that I won’t need in my future. I’m also on my phone a lot because I’ve been pretty depressed lately. Whenever I leave my room I feel like everyone is targeting me. Toxic friends, fighting parents, everything sees me and attacks me. Whenever I leave my room I’m just trying not to get hurt.
So this is my “safe place”. But I’m just rotting my brain on useless crap.
Maybe some of you could use a little break too. Maybe some of you staring at this post should take a little break.
Heck, why wait for New Years? Go enjoy yourselves and care not to the toxic people in your life. All they do is feed off of your emotions.
Happy 2022.
Let’s hope it’s somewhat less shitty than 2020 or 2021

My resolution is to stand up for myself. I'm about to turn 40, have had some ROUGH years and have lived most of my life afraid of what others think of me. An in-law treated me terribly over the holidays, and I've decided to cut them out of my life. I'm pursuing an adhd diagnosis for myself and my child, as well as looking into autism. I'm going to try to stop letting other's opinions, real or imagined, stand in the way of things I want to accomplish. I'm going to try to allow myself to do things I enjoy, without feeling bad about them being "childish" or unproductive. It'll be hard, but I'm going to try, because I'm turning effing 40 and I'm effing tired.

Keeping it simple:
1) don't put it down, put it away; reduces clutter and will be less energy than cleaning up a larger mess later.
2) fix one "stupid" thing a week; less pressure to complete task and may help reduce silly fights with my partner.
3) follow up with something/someone only once; will reduce my anxiety and increase self-esteem.

To react to my wonderful husband as well as I react to my cats.

Some context here. I get angry really easily. I grew up in an abusive home, and many of my romantic relationships were also very abusive. And I never reacted to anything. I always held everything inside. I guess it was my survival strategy. Until I was about 39 or 40, and started seeing a really good therapist.. . . . I met my current husband when I was 47, and we've been married for almost 11 years now. The problem is that I have a very short fuse. Any little thing that is unexpected or not according to plan makes me flip out. Fortunately, my blow ups are over fast and I apologize 15 minutes later. And my husband is so understanding and forgiving most of the time.

But I wish I could just head it off at the pass. You know? When the cats pee or throw up somewhere, I never yell at them. I just take it in stride and clear it up and move on. I don't know why I can't react that way all the time with the little things that my husband does or doesn't do. But that is my big goal to work towards this year.

Less anger, more equanimity. More love and happiness all around.

But then I remembered: to save a park. A large field where many people come to let their dogs out to play as there are so few places around here for that has recently been put up by city council for a bike park. This is a field surrounded by nature, it's gorgeous and peaceful and safe to let dogs off leash to run. I decided that in 2022 i will save it. That's my resolution.

I have a lot of problems I'm planning on working on next year, but my main one is to not get so angry so quickly. I can go from 0-100 in like 10 minutes. I hate it because when I'm angry I'm really angry. I can even end up being sort of destructive and it's so terrible. I need to learn to stop that because one day I'm gonna hurt a person and I'll never be able to forgive myself for it.
